http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...e-warns-against-visa-free-turkish-immigration
former head of MI6 has said the European Union offering visa-free access to millions of Turks is like “storing gasoline next to the fire” as he warns of a “sea change” in continental politics.
Speaking on the BBC’s World on the Move day of migration coverage, Sir Richard Dearlove set out his concerns and thoughts.
He told the programme that “shutting the door on migration is not an option” and that the number of immigrants coming to Europe over the next five years could run into millions.
“For the EU, however, to offer visa-free access to 75 million Turks to stem the flow of migrants across the Aegean seems perverse, like storing gasoline next to the fire one is trying to extinguish,” he said.
